H&G Candour. Very interesting structure, unsettling. Not for me. My wife likes it.

Bu Feng Holding the Sword. It is indeed like a sword. Uneasy. This one I love though.

Logistic (S-curve). They look similar for a while.

Sure, we'll see eventually. To me this does not look like it will end up 50:50

Yet PHEV sales do not rise in Chinese market as much as BEVs do (for example in August BEV +40% YoY, PHEV +8%).

And the name is referring to the castle of Krasna Horka (Beautiful Mountain)

Currently the EU-wide target is 93.6 but then the exact value for each manufacturer is somehow adjusted.

The fleet emmission rules (fines for co2 above a threshold, which is since 1/2025 around 91g/km I think? until 2030 when that drops to 49g/km and then to 0 in 2035) are EU-wide incentives, or disincentives, and have been since 2020 or so. Some countries have additional policies in place.

Especially "funny" that the heads of both ANO and SPD are not Czechs sensu stricto - Babis is Slovak who moved to Czechia in the 90s and Okamura is half-japanese born in Tokio.

We focus way too much on what politicians say ,or allegedly believe, rather than what they actually do.

Alleged “beliefs” are also often used to justify illiberal and undemocratic policies and rhetoric.

It's a personality trait and in some ways it's good to have for them, otherwise they would crumble under the immense pressure in no time. It can also be argued that both Blair and Merkel were able to underpin this confidence with actual good instincts to survive.Unlike too many overconfident others.

It's cheaper than full EV. However now with real-world emmissions known and far worse than the WLTP numbers, they will be disadvantaged by the fleet emmission rules/penalties.

Hello from Slovakia. By law you have to carry ID unless you are in your home town, but there is no fine or punishment if you don't.
OTOH it's very practical compared to the ID chaos in the UK.

Oh no, I'm a complete fan of replacing fossil fuels with clean electricity everywhere ASAP. It's just not going to be as fast as some of us wish. Even in Norway with 97% BEV marketshare the fossil fuel usage is going down slowly.

That's not up to you to decide, is it.

33% is the BEV share of Chinese passenger car sales in July 2025.

They will import oil. Currently only around 33% of new passenger cars being sold are BEVs, the rest is still partly (PHEV, EREV) or wholly ICE. Even if current market would be 100%BEV, they would need to import oil for transportation needs because of the already present vehicles.
